I just ordered a '15 SHO today and ended up getting Platinum White by eliminating all the other colors. I got my '10 in Tuxedo Black and the silica flake (as opposed to metal flake) was cool for about 2 weeks. For me at least, there's nothing like a straight black. I wanted to get Bronze Fire, but when I saw it in person, it's too brown. Back in the '60s, you could get any color you want for $99!

I know a couple of SHO owners who have Bronze Fire, and they love it as well! I think they do more "color shifting" nowadays with the paints so they seem to be different colors at different angles. I also happen to like the Cinnamon and Kodiak Brown color schemes, so ... It def would be nice to have that $99 option!

Dark Side is no longer available. I would have gotten that, it's pretty cool.

I would be happier than a pig in $hit to get a black cherry. I'm not too keen on the browns. It's ironic that I'm looking for a very dark color and end up getting Platinum White! White is a bitch to wax. Oh well :(

Cool color i agree. Sorta Bullit green. Hey, with white though you have a lot of choices for color accenting

I was wondering what colors to pinstripe with... nothing fancy, just down the sides and the trunk. Black and grey probably.

Rumor has it that the Deep Impact Blue is going Bye-Bye for 2016 models. Being replaced by the "Denim" yes as in Denim Blue Jeans from the F150. So far that's the only major color change for 2016.

Personaly, i wouldnt pinstripe it. Imop it might look cheesey. You know, like every other car out there. These babys are originals. Do something to make her standout. Nit blend in

I wouldn't say it would cheesy, but when I look at it and try to think of it pinstriped, I can't think of anything that would look good. I got my Tuxedo Black pinstriped and really like it. A simple stripe on the sides and on the trunk.

The picture doesn't do this color justice. I saw it for the first time yesterday and if I hadn't already received mine delivered black, I would have jumped on this.

It looks like the same color as my Cobra, called Malachite Green. It has that color shifting that SHOdded mentioned. It's got a blue haze to it at an angle. You'd think Ford would keep the website up to date because it shows it still available. I've found other issues with the website too... oh well.
I tried to upload a picture on Flickr, but can't get it to work... hmmmmmm.
OK, got it figured out.
